I am not sure who got you hooked onto clonazepam, even though it reduces anxiety, it shouldn't be used on a longer run. On a longer run they will shrink your brain, resulting in early onset dementia, personality changes, memory changes, even withdrawal seizures. Kindly consult a psychiatrist, get your anxiety evaluated, and he will gradually wane you off it and give pills for primary anxiety like ssri, snri or tca for longer run. All the best.

Rivotril is better than trick, still rivotril alone as single drug for long term is not advised, better a medication which acts on a neurotransmitter rather than a benzodiazepine (rivotril and trika). All the best

Indiscriminate use of Rivotril against a doctors advice can disturb sleep architecture and cause dependence and withdrawal symptoms in the long run. If you are using Rivotril for sleep and not being able to sleep when you stop them, then you are already having dependence. Please get yourself evaluated and then resart treatment

Both rivotril and Trika belong to a group of drugs called Benzo diazepine, why do you want to change over, what is the condition for which you are taking this. Was it prescribed by a doctor or is it self medication, please remember self medication will be counter productive. Plaese consult a psychiatrist an ddiscuss your problem.

Cyst is not going to go with medication and if necessary we can plan for surgery and as of now continue your ongoing treatment which will help to decrease your complications.

No sir, it is not at all adviseable to try this medication nor to self-medicate/regulate without doctor's approval. If you are so keen on coming off of this medication and want to improve your health, I suggest that you go for counseling in tandem with he medicines. If you combined counseling with the medication you can expect the best outcomes for your anxiety disorder. However, you must be episode-free for at least three years before the doctor will decide on weaning you off of the medication ...more
